Constructed from powder-coated carbon steel, stainless steel, or versions suited for wet environments, they are designed for heavy-duty operations and long lifespans. These elevators can be customized with multiple inlets and outlets, using pivoting buckets and air-actuated tipping ramps to ensure selective and comprehensive material discharge. The robust construction includes a 2-inch plated roller chain and polyurethane rolling surface for smooth operation, with food-grade polyamide buckets that withstand a wide temperature range. Maintenance is simplified through accessible inspection covers, drawers for easy cleaning, and external bearings. Ryson Bucket Elevators are suitable for various industries, including food processing, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and recycling, capable of handling up to 1,800 cubic feet per hour. They integrate advanced control systems and are designed for both modularity and customization, ensuring efficient material handling and meeting industry compliance standards.

Our Bucket Conveyor can be configured with multiple inlets or outlets that feature selective bucket-tipping capabilities. This is accomplished by an air-actuated tipping ramp. The last tipping ramp is always in a fixed position, ensuring that all buckets are emptied.
Ryson Bucket Elevators are at robust completely enclosed design yet offer gentle handling of all kinds of products. These buckets overlap at the inlets to prevent spillage and can be selectively tipped at the outlets.
The chain is a 2-inch plated roller chain with a hollow pin shaft and 1⅛-inch diameter rollers. The rolling surface is made of polyurethane, providing smooth and quiet operation. The buckets are made of food-grade-reinforced polyamide, complying with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards. The buckets are molded in one piece and can handle temperatures from –5 to +200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Additionally, flanges are provided at the inlets and outlets to facilitate easy attachment of extended funnels, shoots or tubes.
